The implementation is horrific. Standard? What standard? I have three readers and of course the desktop. I have books that look completely different on all of them. Sometimes good but different, sometimes almost unreadable. To display them the same on every reader I'll have to convert them seperately for every reader and edit that arcane CSS file. Most of the time I simply delete it. Books look a lot better that way. There is also absolutely no way to edit the ePub. Sigil is a nice try, but it is nowere near WYSIWYG.


So me and my wife went back to mobi. Not as fancy as ePub, but always the same en what more do you need for a normal book? Italics, font sizes, fat print, pictures and that's it.
